Judge who is a Republican blames sedatives for racist slurs on video

 

This made national headlines. Image above is from Twitter. The video is disgusting. The family members on the video are all laughing while racial slurs are uttered. This was footage from Odinet's home security footage. Judge Michelle Odinet married to Lafayette Parish Coroner Kenneth Odinet Jr., 

Another Judge scandal that makes national news. Another Judge who refuses to resign. Why is there no process to remove Judges from office?  No one should be above the law.

The excerpts below are from The Current.

"A video has surfaced capturing racist remarks dropped casually in a Lafayette City Court judge’s home, as her family gathered to watch home security footage of a foiled car burglary in their driveway. "

"In the clip, which Lafayette City Court Judge Michelle Odinet confirmed to be in her Bendel Gardens home, witnesses jokingly toss around racial slurs while narrating home security footage of their efforts to stop a man from breaking into a car on their driveway. "

"In a phone interview, Odinet confirmed the 'armed burglary' at her home very early Saturday morning, saying the incident “was horrific” and “shook” her “to the core.” No faces are evident in the cell phone video, and it is unclear who is using the racist language. It’s unknown who recorded the video, which was circulated to multiple members of the local media today, and how and why it was initially disseminated. "

"There are multiple references to 'mom' throughout the video and her role during the burglary in progress."
